The Story Of London's Abandoned Underground Stations

Beneath the streets of London sits a second city: roughly forty abandoned Underground stations, sealed behind locked doors and bricked-over tunnels. This documentary tells the story of how the world's first underground railway began discarding its own stations almost as soon as it built them, and what happened to those buried platforms afterward. From design blunders that doomed stations before the paint dried, to the wartime nights when Churchill dined underground while the city burned above, to the disasters that turned shelters into tombs, this is the history London left in the dark.
